Any discussion of this play with a coach would pretty much be a "No, he didn't!" "Yes, he did." kind of thing, and I'm not likely to get into that.

This play is the exact reason you need to know. It's not a travel until the right foot comes down. What if he dishes or releases a shot just before that? You're good enough to know the difference without knowing which foot is the pivot?

Quite frankly, I'm not all that worked up about any of this. Not a single person in the gym is screaming for a travel at this point and missing this is a minor thing in my world.
